New Problem

Managed to link two problems together today at the Pec Boulder. Taking the start of the sit start problem it dives off left after the first big move to finish up the arete.

This is the first accent as far as I'm aware and I also managed to beat Chris to it. A bit of competition definitely helps to raise standards!

Limits

After my defeat on "the Arms Race" I realised to move up the grades I'd first have to go back down them in order to get my confidence back. Severe and a few Hard Servers proved to be short of the challenge I needed so I decided to skip VS and move straight onto HVS. "Breathless" had big powerful moves at the start with a mantelshelf onto a ledge being the crux. I quickly found that this was near my limit, not my climbing limit but rather my psychological limit. This was probably due to the gear being adequate but not bomber.

I suppose the real challenge is getting this psychological limit up to where my physical limit is...
